Portuguese international Joao Mario, who is 25, is set to leave five months after his arrival from Porto. To avoid a capital loss, Juventus must sell Joao Mario for a figure no less than eight to nine million euros. A loan to a club that can offer him more playing time is not excluded due to his poor performance, which includes one assist in eight Serie A appearances. Several mid-to-lower-tier Serie A clubs are seeking a right-back for the second half of the season. The player, who has been capped three times for Portugal, has a contract with Juventus until June 2030. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €8.50m.
